I Hear They Reprint The Old Marvel Stuff

Another tale, ripped from the Headlines (so to speak).

I just want to say, When people ask a question and then don’t listen to the answer, it’s really hard not to lie to them. I think I deserve some credit in that regard.

At any rate, there is other excitement in the world, and for me that means one thing: A new Avengers trailer.

As silly as I think the buildup is (these days, big trailers have previews for Pete’s sake), you can’t argue with the result. Avengers looks awesome. Period. If I had to change one thing, I’d change Captain America’s suit to the one from WWII, but that’s a small thing. I can live with the new suit.

With Avengers, Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises on the slate for 2012, it’s shaping up to be yet another awesome summer for comic book fans at the movies. I’ll predict right now, the final box office tally will see Batman taking in the most, followed by Avengers and then Spider-Man. Not that Spider-Man isn’t going to be good, I just think the other two will be so massive they will dwarf everything else.

The real question I suppose is will we be celebrating a “comic book” movie winning a Best Picture Oscar next year? I think it’s very possible…

Put Things In Our Mouths (words, mostly)!

Whaddap Dudes!

So, just so you don’t forget, there’s an anniversary coming up. A pretty big one for us. Yup. That’s right. No Reason is gettin’ old enough that its starting to count milestones, and we’re closing in on number five!

WHAAAAAAT?!

Back in September 2006, Jeff Moss and I put together our first strips and posted them up online. Back then, we thought we were hilarious, and could draw well. We still think that. And now we’d like to give you the readers, perhaps other creators, a chance to do something like that as well. Maybe you’ve had your own strip in mind for No Reason. Maybe there are words you want to make come out of Murph’s mouth, or a pair of pants you’d rather see Jamie wear. Or maybe you have your own comic and you’d like to do a strip or two where your characters meet ours. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe… and the word has lost all meaning. Maybe.

Either way, starting this September 2011, our 5th Anniversary, we’ll be accepting Fan-Made Strips from the community. Those that are a cut above might be featured here in the main page of No Reason’s anniversary celebrations – but everyone will be included in a gallery with timed releases so that the spotlight can shine down not only on Jamie and Murph, but all you wonderful people that bring them to life every week.

So, get your pens warmed up and your erasers ready! You can find out more here.
